Product Description
In artist David Edgar's fabulous new book, he shares the secrets to creating his fantastic works of recycled plastic art. Thirty projects in this clever collection range from jewelry, home décor, holiday decorations and whimsical creatures of every sort. Projects are organized by level of difficulty and all the necessary techniques – cutting, shaping, fastening, heat-forming, and making tabs – unfold in step-by-step photos, along with clear, comprehensive instructions. The book contains both advanced projects and simple ones that even a young child can create. Sidebars provide information on plastics and recycling along with a gallery of innovative international work by professional artists to inspire you. Get creative while saving the planet!

Edgar’s artwork Raggedtailed Dragon Fish is featured in PEM's exhibition Trash Menagerie presenting over 30 improbable works of art created from things most of us simply throw away. This playful and poignant exhibition challenges visitors to think differently about the creative potential lurking in everyday objects.
